THIBODAUX -- Former high school football players from local schools participated in a several Gridiron Alumni Football games held at Nicholls State’s John L. Guidry Stadium on Friday and Saturday.

The games were run by Gridiron Alumni, which is a California-based company that goes around the country and gives former players an opportunity to play football again. The games featured 11-on-11 tackle football with four 15-minute quarters. There are no age requirements, so the teams are filled with former alumni age 18 and older.

In the first game, South Lafourche defeated rival Central Lafourche, 66-0, on Friday night.

H.L. Bourgeois defeated Thibodaux, 7-0, in the second game on Saturday, while South Terrebonne beat Ellender, 19-6, in the final game on Saturday night.

Event coordinator Chris Cavender said he hopes to turn the games into a yearly event with the possibility of including a tournament in the future.
